Home Assistant. It's a rabbit hole, but it's great. I've got motion enabled lights, thermostats for "dumb" heaters, and I track device usage (tablet, xbox) of my kids.

Euuhh what? I used to use an old pc but found out I could save about NZ$100 per year on power by switching to an RPi4. It hosts about 15 things, like sonarr, radarr, home assistant, pi hole, nzbget, photoview, Frigate, and backups, without any issues. Yes it's not super power full but it's perfect for me.

Not sure what site that is you've linked, but the official site seems to be this one: https://freetubeapp.io/

It works perfectly with Libredirect. Thank you!

It's a cat and mouse game, and history has proven that in this case adblockers will win. Or we'll get ad blocker blocker blockers.

I really don't understand all the negative comments. It feels like a very fun game and I can't wait to play it again.

I switched to DDG and then to Kagi based on all the praise it gets here. So much better than Google!

TIL buses have a "no child left behind" alarm.

Pretty standard here in NZ too. As a Dutch guy I would never ever cycle there. Cycles don't belong on a motorway.

Worked in supermarket. New manager came in and decided to change everything, everybody hated it. So as a good 23 year old I decided to start harassing him by ordering free magazines, free stuff, furniture, kitchens etc etc online and get it delivered to his house.

There is content on other instances.

We have to start somewhere! I find this very encouraging news.

Welcome here! I also deleted all my accounts. First felt weird, but now I found Lemmy I don't look back. I don't want to support a business run by such a lunatic.

I've been raised as a Christian, but always found it weird that there was zero proof and all based on a book. It seems like the longest running book club ever. I'm still going to church regularly, mainly because I enjoy the company and the church we're going to promotes a good lifestyle: Take care of each other, respect other's people's choices, and be kind.

I really despise the news where people are banning e.g. aborting / LGBTQ /queer in the name of Christianity. Just respect what other people do!

And I think there are things we can't explain. I recently read "After" written by a doctor who has spent decades to research NDE's and there are many things he can't explain, and scientists still don't know what exactly the conscience is.

Thanks Dave. I had not noticed it at all until this post.

But I get your point, this should be an instance of mainly NZ people. If hexbear seems to take over it's probably a good idea to defederate.

Kiwi here, been to Oz couple of times. Never heard of them checking for pirated content. But if it's stressing you, you may appear stressed when checked at customs and that's never good. So for peace of mind I'd just delete it and redownload when you are in.

That's awesome! Here in NZ they should do that too!

Agreed that batteries are not the end goal, but it's at least much better than ICE.

Yes, very good idea. I've got HA on a RPI so that should be easy.

I switched to Connect and loving it so far.

Hi fellow IT contractor, thanks for sharing! That is awesome. Just installed and works like a charm. I was using Chrome profiles for this, but having all in one window is much easier.

Well said. I always wonder why billionaires keep working. Your post explains it nicely.
